on  Igbo  pronunciation. 


I.  The  following  types  are  generally  admitted  in  the  Igbo  ortho-_ 
graphy,    namely:    a,  -a,  b,  c,  d,  e,  ft  f,  g,  h,  i,  j,  k,  1,  m,  n,  o,  o,    j 
p,  r,  s,  t,  u,  w,  y,  z. 

As  a  general  rule,  every  letter  or  combination  of  letters,  repre- 
sents the  same  sound  on  all  circumstances. 

II.  Vowels.     The  vowels  have  always  the  same  sound,  thus: 

a  sounds  always  as  a  in  «mat»         — 
e       ,,  ,,       ,,   e   ,,   «iate» 

i        „  „       „    i   „    «is» 

o       „  ,.       „   o   „   «hole» 

u       „  „       „  u   „   «put» 

Remark.  The  vowels  (a),  e,  o.  u  can  have  a  sharp  or  a 
grave  sound. 

III.  Consonants.  All  the  consonants,  with  the  exception  of 
h,  have  the  same  sound  as  in  English.  —  The  aspirate  «h»  is  only 
used  to  form  the  compounds  «gh»  and  «sh». 

Remark.  The  consonants  g,  s  and  t  have  always  the  hard 
sounds  as  in  the  words  «good»,  « sell »  and  «termitate». 

IV.  Compound  consonants.  The  compound  consonants  are 
of  a  frequent  use  in  the  Igbo  language.  They  are  six,  namely:  fy 
kp,  gb,  gh,  sh,  n. 

In  kp  the  k  must  be  considered  as  modifying  the  consonant  p; 
thus  kp  in  okpu,  hat. 

'  Gb  has  rather  the  sound  of  a  strong  b,  uttered  with  an  effort 
of  the  lips. 

Oh  are  throat  letters.  It  is  by  trying  to  utter  g-  h  in  the  throat 
that  the  right  sound  is  given;  thus  g-halu,  leave. 

<jj  has  the  sharp  sound  of  ch  in  « cherry »  v.  g.  (jhiku,  God. 

Sh  has  the  sound  of  sh  in  «sheet».    Ashilisha,  a  kind  of  fruit. 

JT  is  the  equivale  ntof  ng  in  German.  It  has  the  guttural  sound 
of  ng  in  «Engel». 


linn    ■?■    iQK/)i 


V.  Nasal  sounds.  The  vowels  a,  e,  o  are  -  frequently  ac- 
companied by  a  nasal  sound,  when  followed  by  the  consonant  n. 
Thus  awu,  sun;  ewe,  monkey;  owu,  death. 

VI.  Elision.  As  a  general  rule  it  may  be  stated  that  elision 
nearly  always  takes  place  when  two  vowels  come  together;  thus  if* 
odjo  (for  ife  odjo)  evil. 

Elision  does  not  take  place  in  the  following  cases: 

1.  When  euphony  does  not  admit  it. 

2.  When  through  its  use,  the  meaning  of  the  word  would  have 
to  suffer.

ST.PETERCLAVER, 

by  which  this  dictionary 
has  been  published. 

This  pious  auxiliary  Society 
of  the  African  Missions  was 
founded  the  29  th  April  1894 
with  the  august  permission  of 
His  Holiness  Pope  Leo  XIII. 
and  placed  under  the  control 
of  the  Sacred  Congregation  of 
the  Propaganda  in  Rome.  The 
Holy  See  granted  it  «the 
Decree »  of  approbation  the 
7th  February   1902. 

lis  aim  and  scope  is  to  save 
the  soul  of  African  negroes 
and  procure  the  liberation  of 
-slaves  by  helping  the  African 
Missions  in  every  way:  as  for 
example:  by  lectures;  by  wri- 
ting and  publishing  periodicals 
and  other  writings  in  different 
languages,  to  rouse  an  interest 
in  the  Missions  of  Africa  and 
to  make  kown  the  labours  and 
successes  of  the  Missionaries; 
by  printing'  books  compiled  by 
the  Missionaries  in  native  lan- 
guages;   by    promoting   confe-

et  de  zelatrices  qui  secourent 
l'QEuvre  par  une  offrande  an-
